TO BREAK GROUND
First Step in the Erection of
the E. L. Church of Our
Saviour to Be Taken
Tomorrow.
REV. E. N. FDLPER TO LEAD SERVICE
Rev. E. E. Neudewitz and J
E. Heindel to Preach—
Among the Churches.
Ground will be broken tomorrow for the
proposed new English Lutheran Church
of Our Saviour on the site purchased some
time ago from Commissioner John H.
Weastell, at Atlantic street and Bergen
avenue, on the Heights. The devotional
exercises will be led by the pastor, the
Rev. E. N. Fulper. He will open the ser
vices at three o'clock, and the congrega
tion will also take part.
Sermons will be delivered by the Rev.
Eugene E. Neudewitz, who organized the
first Lutheran Church in Hudson County,
and the Rev. John E. Heindel, of Green
ville. Lutheranism has grown wonder
fully in Hudson County, there being three
churches in Jersey City and one in Ho
boken. The Rev. E. E. Neudewitz was
behind all of these movements.
Work will be begun on the church Mon
day morning. All the contracts have been
awarded and the total cost of the pro
posed church will be about $13,000. The
building will be of an “L" shape. It will
face on Bergen avenue, also having an
entrance on Clendenny avenue. J ne
building will be of stone half way to the
roof. A Sunday School room will be part
Of the building, and this will be part't
ioned off by folding doors. The whole
ground floor when thrown open will seat
about 300 people. It is the intention of the
church board to build an addition to the
new building in time to come when more
room is required.
The church was organized on January
7, 1900, by Pastor Neudewitz. There were
twenty-three charters members present
when services were opened in Arcanum
Hall, Jackson and Clinton avenues. The
Sunday School opened with just thirteen
scholars, but its steady growth to
800 in a little more than two years proves
that the number thirteen caused no bad j
luck. The membership of the church has j
increased to 170.
Besides a Ladies’ Aid Society there is a
Luther League and a Literary Society and
a vested choir has been recently formed.
The church is progressing nicely, and the
members hope to be in their new house
of worship by November. The corner
stone will be laid about the first of June,
and interesting services will be arranged
for the occasion.
Pastor Fulper has labored hard to build
up his charge, the first one he has had
since It was only a few months before he
took up the work that he was graduated
from the Gettysburg Seminary in Penn
sylvania.

LIFE SAVING
k
Remarkable Rescue on the
Atlantic Coast This
Year by U. S.
Service.
The annual report of the United States
Life Saving Service, just from the press,
shows that the New Jersey coast was
the scene of many marine disasters last
year, and according to the area, was sec
ond in the line of the districts, says the
Newark Sunday "Call.” The greatest
number being on the upper NeA. England
coast. The New Jersey coast, from Sandy
Hook to Cape May, is the Fifth district,
and the statistics show that there were
eighty-two disasters, and the value of
the vessels was *265,110; the cargoes,
*114,125; the total vatu eof property was
$106,235. The fact that the New Jersey
life saving stations are so close together,
there being forty-two, and not over two
miles apart, that out of the eighty-two
disasters only six vessels were totally
lost, two persons drowned, although there
were 346 persons on board of the vessels
wrecked and disabled, seventy-seven of
these were succored at the stations. The
total value of the property actually lost
was *143,810.
One of the interesting wrecks of the
year was that of the American schooner,
Grover Cleveland, that went to pieces off
Sandy Hook. The crew was rescued by
the Sandy Hook Life Savers.
The death reports show some thrilling
rescues. The largest number of wrecks
occurred off the Great Egg Harbor inlet.
Barnegat inlet and Sandy Hook. The
life-saving corps along the Jersey coast :
does its greatest service by warning ves
sels who are acquiring a dangerous po- i
cition. A hundred or more wrecks were !
prevented in this way.
The Women’s National Relief Associa- !
tion keeps the New Jersey stations well I
supplied with clothing, cordials anti diet
for shipwrecked people. They gave aid
to forty-two shipwrecks at seven different !
stations.
There are 252 men at the New Jersey
stations during the active season, which
is from August 1 to May 31, and from De
cember to April 30 the crews are increased
one man. John G. W. Havens, with head
quarters at Point Pleasant, Is the dis
trict superintendent for New Jersey and
recives $1,800 a year, being one of the
high grade.
It ts coincidental that Lieutenant
Charles H. McLellan, the assistant in
spector of New Jersey, who is active in
suggesting improvements for the serv
ice, Ehould be a student of the service in
the same locality where the life saving
service was perfected by the late Govei
nor Newell and Francis Ottinger. Lieu
tenant MeLeilan is making important
changes in the breeches buoy. He has de
vised a protected buoy, which wilt prevent,
water from getting into the buoy. He
also has suggested changes in the canvas
boat drogue.
The new report contains the names of
those who have received medals for
bravery, under act of Congress of June,
1874, and June, 1878. There are a number
of Jerseymen who have been honored.
John Carey, Jersey City, silver medal for
rescuing a man who had fallen from a
ferry boat in the North River; Richard

OYSTER CULTURE
Governor Murphy Inspects
the Famous Beds of
South Jersey.
[Special to “The Jersey City News.’*]
TRENTON, May 3, 1902.—Amazed by the
magnitude of the great industry. Governor
Murphy, of New Jersey, returned yester
day from the famous Maurice River Cove
and Delaware Bay, the official inspection
of which he made with the State Oyster
Commission and a number of State offi
cials. The start was made so early yes
terday morning that many in the large
inspecting party declared that it had been
scarcely worth while to drop into bed for
the few minutes allowed by the schedule
of the Commission. The Governor, former
Governor Voorhees and Major Franklin
Murphy, Jr., with Clerk in Chancery
Stokes, State Comptroller Morgan and a
number of other prominent men, were
guests over night of Captain Edward
Stites, the president of the Commission,
at his handsome home at Port Norris, and
the inspecting party went out from that
great shipping point in tugs to meet the
New Jersey Naval Reserve steamer,
Huntress.
me MuntresD, witn toamanaer j.
Boyd Potter, in fine naval array, on the
bridge, was found after a lively hunt out
in the bay. and she took the party abroad
for the cruise over the beds of the bi
valves. The Governor was deeply inter
ested in the whole subject o-f the planting,
propagation and marketing of the oyster,
and _ he gathered a deal of valuable in
formation on the subject. Ho saw about
€00 boats, manned by from four to ten
men each, actively at work on the natural
beds, gathering seed, or “plants.” for the
cove planting. He learned that the busi
ness had increased in value to an amaz
ing extent since the State took action to
control it, but that while there are possi
bilities almost unlimited for further im
provement, there are still many acres of
available waters for the propagation of
the luscious bivalves which go to all
parts of the country and bring a revenue
considerably above the entire agricultural
product of the State. The Governor also
■found that this year has proven to be
one of the worst in point of seec! product
since the State assumed control of the
Industry, but while there were several
explanations of this condition none Deem
ed to be entirely satisfactory.
The Governor was taken off the Hun
tress in a small boat to board the William
B. Stites, one of the oyster schooners,
and he was deeply interested in the dredg
ing of the young seed oysters from their
beds in the bay. He saw tiny bits of
what are known as “blisters,” which are
little excresences adhering to the empty
shell of an oyster, which had at one time
served its purpose. When he found that
those tiny “blisters” were the first ap
pearance of the coming oyster, probably a
few weeks after the “spat” had caught
to the shell on the bottom, he was mere
deeply interested, and he got a new com
prehension of what is known as the
“Rough Cull” law. about which so much
has been said and written in the oyster
lore of New Jersey. The Governor made
many inquiries into the history, growth
and extent of the industry which yields
such a big revenue and employs so many
men, for he has st* ed that he Is anxious
to see it developed to the highest point
of efficiency in behalf of the people.
When the Huntress turned her prow
homeward Commander Potter and Lieu
tenant Commander de Unger discovered
that she was not living up to the stand
ard of excellence laid down in the book
of naval etiquette, and they got the tugs
Ocean City and West Jersey to tow her
into the river. It was an odd sight to
see the handsome craft, once the possess
ion of a wealthy New Yorker, but later
one of uncle Sam's auxiliary naval run
ners. being pulled to the Maurice River
landing by the two smallest vessels in
mournful procession. The Governor did
not like that very much, particularly as
the State had but recently spent a large
sum of money for the repair of the boat.
The visitors to the oyster grounds were
cared for by William Coffin, of Camden,
representing the West Jersey & Seashore
Railroad Company, and who took particu
lar care to see that no one was in dis
comfort during the hours of travel. The
new Investigating Commission, of which
Assemblyman George W. Holman, Jr., is
president, were guests of the day, and
they got their bearings for a future trip
they will make to the same field later on
to find what the oystermen are clamoring
for to help them in their business.

FATHER CARROLL
Sector of St. Patrick’s
Church to Calebrato His
Anniversary Next
Tuesday.
PROGRESS OF THE PARISH
New Building Ripldly Going
Up—Among the
Churches.
The Rev. Lawrence M. C. Carroll, pas
tor of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church at
Bramhall avenue and Grand street, on
the Heights, will celebrate the forty
eighth anniversary of his birth next
Tuesday. Father Carroll succeeded the
late Father Patrick HenneSsy, who or
ganized the church many years ago. The
present pastor celebrated the sixth an
niversary of his pastorate at St. Pat
rick’s Church on March 15 and on June
7 he will have completed twenty-three
years of active work in the priesthood,
having been ordained in 1S79. four years
after graduating from Seton Hall College
at South Orange.
Father Carroll's life has been indeed a
busy one. He was born in St. Patrick’s
parish in Newark on May 6. 1854. and re
ceived his early training in St. Patrick's
Parochial School. It was then that he
decided to become a priest. He pre
pa reo at St. Charles’s College. Maryland,
and after graduating w?lth honors, entered
Seton Hall College. He was graduated
from that institution in 1875.
It was not until four vears later that
he was ordained. He was then assigned
as a curate of St. John’s Church, Orange,
July 21, 1879. He remained there until
July 4, 1883, when he wras transferred to
St. Mary's Church of Jersey City. On
February 19, 1889, he went on the first
American Catholic pilgrimage to Rome
and the Holy Land, He returned in Au
gust of the same year and was made
rector of Our Lady of Sorrows Church
at South Orange.
ine pastor was seieciea to iurm u. new
parish because of his ability. He soon
had his plans well laid and after a few
years of hard work succeeded in pur
chasing a large plot, built a fine church,
a rectory. A parochial school and a home
for the Sisters.
As a result for this brilliant work he
was sent to take the place of the late
Father Hennessy, at St. Patrick’s Church,
on the Heights. At that time the parish
was considered one of the largest in the
dioc&se. Since then two new parishes
have been cut off of the mother church.
St. Aloysius’s was organized on the West
Side with the Rev. John A. Sullivan as
pastor, and All Saints’ Church in Lafay
ette, with the Rev. Jof.ph H.. Meehan as
pastor.
Even now the church has made great
progress with Father Carroll at its head
He has reduced the debt and has found
means to build what he proposes to be the
finest parish building in the State. Work
is now progressing on this structure and
before winter will have been completed.
There will be a parochial school, quarters
for the various parish societies, a roof
garden and a beautiful theatre. The coit
will be .about $100,000.
Father Carroll has crossed the ocean
thirty-six times. He has travelled all
over the world and speaks several lan
guages fluently. He was a close friend
and advisor of the late Bishop Wigger,
and traveled much with him. Father Car
roll Is also a trustee of Seton Hall Col
lege.

BUSK SHELTER
Old House at Cranbury to
Which Hamilton’s Slay
er Fled After His Duel
ITS STRANGE HISTORY
Saries of Mi3fortuti33 That
Have Bafallen Its
Tenants.
Strange misfortunes have come to those '
tenants of the old colonial house at Cran
bury, twelve miles from here, where
Aaron Burr lay hidden after his duel with
Alexander Hamilton, says the New |
Brunswick correspondent of the Newark i
Sunday "Call.” So persistent was the
strange Nemesis which followed the j
careers of all who were bold enough to .
live in this house, thut for years It was
unoccupied. During that time It got the
reputation around Cranbury of being
haunted, but this impression has of late
years been dispelled.
Nobody could ever say that there were j
genuine ghosts in the house, but all kinds j
of\,bad luck were certainly charged up to '
It. and Its blight the natives have surely
credited to Aaron Burr. His duel with
Hamilton occurred July 11, 1S04. and the j
storm which broke loose upon him soon !
afterward caused him to flee to a friend j
for a plaee of refuge. That friend hap- |
pened to be Commodore Thomas Truxton, !
of the United States Navy, who won his i
laurels on the Constitution, when in 1799, '
she vanquished the French frigate I.'In- j
surgente.
When Burr, like a hunted dog, arrived 1
In Cranbury, the old Commodore was not !
the kind of man to turn his back upon
a friend in time of need. It was on a !
hot night In July that he arrived, and i
the stout old Commodore's hospitality was j
not denied him.
Burr wrote to his son-in-iaw, Joseph
Alston, of South Carolina, that: “In New
York I am to be disfranchised, and in
New Jersey hanged. Having substantial
objections to both. I shall not at present
hazard tither.” This was nine months
after the shooting.
A visit to the Burr house serves to re
call many interesting facts. Away up at
the top of the fine winding stairway that
climbs from the main entrance hall all
the way up the three stories of tne house
j there Is one of those stately bedrooms
j which are the ornament of so many of
those old colonial houses. It was to this
room that Burr was shown, because back
of the great fireplace with its finely carv
ed mantel there is a secret panel that
leads to the attic above.
It was necessary that Burr should lie
in absolute concealment during his stay
in Jersey. There was no knowing what
infuriated search there might be made
for him. He could use the large bedroom
to live in. and there always was that con
venient panel by which he could meit
away to the attic if necessity arose.
In. this room, then, with its attic re
treat, lived Aaron Burr for a t'me after
hin duel w'ith Hamilton. There are tra
ditions even yet here in the village about
his stay—stories passed down from grand
fathers and grandmothers long in their
’ graves about the mysterious stranger who j
i appeared only at night, doing his bit of j
j exercise out of doors, walking to and fro,
j to and fro, under the shadows of the
] giant sycamore trees that lined the state
] Iy pathway from the door down to the
! highway entrance to the lawn; with the
I stout old Commodore always stumping ;
! along by his side. The shadows fall upon j
the old pathway now as they feii then— !
nothing's changed except that the j
shadows are those east by other trees '
and that the Commodore and Aaron are j
both mere shades for these many years.
It was for between two and three weeks
that Burr lay thus concealed in the old
house, ft is not of record that he was
j ever there before or after. Neither is it
I of record that prior to his visit the house
i was in any way notable for being a home
of domestic disaster.
It is notable, on the other hand, that
from the date of Burr's visit up to times
easily within the memory of those now .
! living, people who lived in the house i
seemed to be under a blight o? some sort. !
] It began even with old Commodore Trux
! ton.
j His money matters went wrong: death j
struck in his family right and left, and !
finally he sold the mansion and went i
away to Philadelphia to live with about
all ended that there is in life worth living
for. He had suffered from the General
Burr blight. He got rid of the house and
ended his days in reasonable peace.
But Commodore Truxton got off easily
compared with some of those who fol
lowed him. Insanity, suicide, sudden
death, fires and financial ruin were the
| lot of family after family that tried to
I live in the 1-* se. Dr. Davis was one who
! especially suffered. He bought the house .
1 some fifteen years after it had sheltered j
Burr. Il'is wife went opinm mad. and i
; was confined in the attic that had served j
: as Burr's retreat. Dr. Holmes, who lives ;
1 near the old house, told -a reporter that
'[ he recalled many a story that had been
1 told’ him by those now dead of this poor
! frantic creature’s efforts’ to get the drug.
She was a young woman, and a beauti
ful woman, according tp all accounts, the
daughter of a wealthy man In Philadel
i phla. She committed suicide at last.
| Then a son of Dr. Davis fell from a third
: story over the ralllhg of the stairway
and dashc-d his bralfs out on the floor of
the stately old math entrance hallway.
Walter Budding, who succeeded Dr.
Davis, had1 his troubles also. The malev
olent spirit of Bigr seemed to take It out
on Budding in the way of fires. Barns
and outbuildings of all sorts went up m
smoke. Budding had a few years of the
house and went away to live. But he was
dead broke.
After Budding came Captain Backus,
j The captain taclded the house cheerfully.
! lost a deal of honey and got out In a
year. Dr. Doty| fresh from California,
! with a lot of mchey and scornful of hoo
j doos, came alonf next and tried his luck
! at It. That year was in 1852. After he had

Eruptions
Dry, moist, scaly tetter, all forms
of eczema or salt rheum, pimples
and other cutaneous eruptions pro
ceed from humors, either inherited,
or acquired through defective di
gestion and assimilation.
To treat these eruptions with
drying medicines is dangerous.
The thing to do is to take
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
and Pills
Which thoroughly cleanse the blood,
expelling all humors and building
up the whole system. They cure
Hood’s Sarsaparilla permanently cured J.
G. Eines, Franks, 111., of eczema, from which
he had suffered for some time; and Miss
Alvina Welter, Box 212, Alsrona, Wis., of pirn*
pies on her face and back and chafed skin on
her body, by which sbe had been greatly
troubled. There are more testimonials in
favor of Hood's than can be published.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla promises to
cure and keeps the promise.
Daniel Dey was next. H:s wife became
insane in the house, and when he sold it
at last he had eut down the big syca
mores on tho front lawn which Aaron
Burr and tho old Commodore walked, and
had sold as well other parts of the farm
to stave off the financial smash which
finally overwhelmed him.
Nelson Petty wras the successor of
Daniel Dey. Mr. Petty was a rich mar.
and he bought the fine okl colonial man
sion in Cranbury to retire to it and enjoy
himself, for the rest of his days. His was
a particularly bad career. His wife fed
dying oil .the floof* of the o!d fashioned
drawing-room one day. It was a case of
hemorrhage. Soon after a servant was
accused of child murder. And then ic
cap the climax Petty himself was seized
with a hemorrhage one morning While in
his bath and died before help could reach
him.
With this tragedy, which ended in the
70’s, the hoodoo on the house seemed to
have runs its course. The family now
living there have had no trouble and are
happy in the ownership of the fine old
mansion.
They do not build in these days such o'd
houses as those of the colonial epoch, of
which this is so fine a type. It stands
near the corner where two old highways
merge into one. Over the front doorway
there is a pan-shaped cover, the only
relief sav‘e the windows on its front of
white. On each side of the main hallway
are two such simple and dignified rooms
of state with their high white woodwork
embellished with delicate carvings aB
somehow they do not make nowadays.
At the extreme end of the hallway there
Is the stairway leaping above in superb
sweeps the stairway over which young
Davis tumbled to his death. There are
dark stains on the floor to this day on
the spot where his head is supposed to
have struck. Ton can believe they are
bloodstains if you wish.
